SAŽETAK / ABSTRACT:
Ad hoc tribunals of post cold-war era and the ICC have consistently served as instruments of geopolitical power rather than impartial judicial bodies, administering a form of “victor’s justice” that targets defeated or adversarial nations. The analysis highlights systemic issues of selectivity, political bias, and the erosion of fundamental principles of criminal law. Case studies of the ICTY, ICTR, SCSL and ICC demonstrate their role in legitimizing Western interventions and reinforcing global power asymmetries. The conclusion questions the very possibility of impartial international criminal justice within the current unipolar world order and suggests that prosecuting international crimes should primarily be the responsibility of national courts.
